If you want to read about your friends, your neighbors, and your town, read The Nugget. This paper gives you complete Vol. 20, No. 74 The County Seat _ Paper NEVADA CITY, CALIF ORNIA The Gold Center BROAD STREET Harley M. Leete, Ye. Since the Boss and.I have both been writing colu mins under the heading of Thinking Out WLoud, Faithul Readers have occasionally become confused as to-who was writing what, and why. HEAVY THINKHRS will pick up their copy of the NEVADA CITY NUGGET and begin reading Thinking Out Loud, expecting to find an eloqtwent disquisition upon the iniquities of the Democratic Party, only to find the column filled (by this writer) with trivia that scarcely justifies the name of Thini either aloud or silently. Such CONFUSION is all a thing of the past, more or less, because now this writer’s trivia, small talk, gossip, et all will be plainly labeled wtih the above ‘title, BROAD STREET. BROAD STREET was chosen for the title not only because it is the main artery of our pleasant community; but because it is, in a sense, representative of the sort of material ‘FUNERAL SERVICE HELD FOR MELIO SOCARO A large group of sorrowing friends and relatives numibering scores, gathered in St. (Canice Catholic ‘Church and at the graveside yester‘day afternoon to pay their last tribute to the memory of Melio Solaro, who lost his life last Monday evening. The fire department of which he was a member, the city council and city officials, were present to show honor to the memory of a young man who ‘had won respect, for his kindness and integrity, of an unusually large numiber of his fellow citizens. Pall bearers were Donald Macari, Leslie Orzalli, ‘John Sbaffi, Daniel (Crawford, Herbert’Hallett and Nick Sandow. An autopsy performed. by Dr. B. W. Hummelt Monday evening upon the body of Melio Solaro, killed while riding horseback on the Lower Grass Valley road Sunday evening, ed that he died as a result of a crushed chest presumably caused truck running over him. Solaro' riding with a party seven—others had fallen behind group. William Chappel, truck .driver, passing at the moment stated had revealDy a of one can expect to find in this column. A good deal happens on Broad! Street that is of great interest to our community, but very little of warld. And that is is planned to shakinig importance, actly what. it here— ex-. include items of interest but very little . ‘of world-shaking importance. WE expect eoing, to re and bright ord. comines up and dowms and local lights. The chane-. the maples Street will not pass . . will vignettes of tihe sayines of tng colors of lars of .Nevada unnoticed, local political arena, or less eccentric less public characters. BROAD; STREET, as a newspaper column, will endeavor to be polite and tread lightly, not steppinig¢ ‘blors toes, but it will full: of swetness and light. When we see something not right which ‘we believe should ‘be called to our reader’s notice, into the column it will go, and let the chips fall where they will. and pon-. nor nor the more} doings of more or! on our neighnot be overee . fn other words our BROAD . STREET will not start at the Catholie Cemetery and end at the Plaza, ‘but will be bolumded only by the in-. terests of the Editor and Readers of the Nugget. THE BOSS will carry on with THINKING OUT LOUD when the spirit moves him, which, fortunately for FATTHFUL READ(ER, is pretty often. WHAT WILL OUR COMPETITORS BE UP TO NEXT DEPARTMENT: One of them is getting out a city directory. WE thought of this a long time ago, but were too busy to get under way. Congrats to them for actually DOING it. Anxother competitor ig busy as a hive getting a photo-engraving Plant into operation. Why do our etompetitors have to be so ON THE BALL? Why dom’t they just sit back and go to seed and let us take over? Wile that query under COMPETIMON IS THE LIFE OF TRADE. Speaking of. competition, here’s a mote that’s ‘been trying to get into my column for months, WALK DO NOT’ RUN, item—here you are now. Alpha Hardware Company has. a REE KNIFE SHARPENING SERVICE. Before you run down to the Alpha. knife in hand, or before I file this under THINGS WE DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT OUR OWN TOWN, leave me explain. What the service furnishes is the stone and the oil. You furnish the knife and the BELBOW GREASE. If you don’t believe me, go on down and look, stubborn, and you’ll not only find the free knife sharpening service right there on the counter, but you’ll find the stone ple: “wavy from years of rervice.
